One of the defining elements of Rob|Arch 2012 were the eight robot workshops that were offered all over Europe. European universities not only organized their own workshops, but also hosted teams from the American universities Harvard and SciArc.

For Rob|Arch 2014, the host universities of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon have additional robot capacities for external workshops. We are encouraging workshop proposals until June 15,2014. See call.robarch2014.org for more details.
